Sometimes when a role is rejected by one actor it is given to another which sometimes turns out to be a game changer for everyone. A similar story happened with this actor when stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna rejected this film with Sridevi. Little did they know that the movie would become a huge hit and not just that it would also become a cult classic. This movie was made for ₹4 crore and later went on to earn ₹10 crore making it a huge hit and also becoming the second highest-grossing film of the year at the Indian box office. While today these numbers seem low back in 1987 when this film was released it was a big deal. If you are wondering which movie we are talking about then it is Mr. India. Anil Kapoor Was Not the First Choice for Mr. India According to reports Mr. India was originally written with Rajesh Khanna in the lead but the film was then offered to Amitabh Bachchan. However the actor refused. When Rajesh Khanna turned down the movie Anil Kapoor was offered the film and he agreed. The movie became a huge hit and established Anil Kapoor as a leading actor. The movie also featured Sridevi opposite Anil and their pairing was loved by the audience. Apart from Anil and Sridevi another iconic actor who stole the hearts of the audience was the late actor Amrish Puri who played Mogambo! Satish who is a close friend of Anupam was initially considered for this role but was rejected and Amrish came into the film. Amrishs dialogue “Mogambo khush hua” is still a hit.
